The Meanings of these Tarot Cards

This Covers You

This card gives the influence which is affecting the person or matter of inquiry generally, the atmosphere of it in which the other currents work.

Six of Wands from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Apprehension, fear, as of a victorious enemy at the gate; treachery, disloyalty, as of gates being opened to the enemy; also indefinite delay.

Fulfillment of deferred hope.

Card Description

A laurelled horseman bears one staff adorned with a laurel crown; footmen with staves are at his side.

Two of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

On the one hand it is represented as a card of gaiety, recreation and its connexions, which is the subject of the design; but it is read also as news and messages in writing, as obstacles, agitation, trouble, embroilment.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Troubles are more imaginary than real.

Card Description

A young man, in the act of dancing, has a pentacle in either hand, and they are joined by that endless cord which is like the number 8 reversed.

This is Beneath You

It shows the foundation or basis of the matter, that which has already passed into actuality and which the Significator has made his own.

Three of Pentacles from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

Metier, trade, skilled labour; usually, however, regarded as a card of nobility, aristocracy, renown, glory.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

If for a man, celebrity for his eldest son.

Card Description

A sculptor at his work in a monastery. Compare the design which illustrates the Eight of Pentacles. The apprentice or amateur therein has received his reward and is now at work in earnest.

It gives the influence that is just passed, or is now passing away.

Three of Swords from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Mental alienation, error, loss, distraction, disorder, confusion.

Arrows of jealousy, internal dispute, stingings of conscience, quarrels; and domestic disputes for persons who are married.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings (When Upright)

Domestic disputes for a married person.

Card Description

The card represents motion through the immovable-a flight of wands through an open country; but they draw to the term of their course. That which they signify is at hand; it may be even on the threshold.

Your Self

Signifies the person or thing about which the question has been asked, and shows its position or attitude in the circumstances.

Seven of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Fair child; idea, design, resolve, movement.

Card Description

Strange chalices of vision, but the images are more especially those of the fantastic spirit.

Your House

Your environment and the tendencies at work therein which have an effect on the matter €”for instance, your position in life, the influence of immediate friends, and so forth.

Five of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Upright

It is a card of loss, but something remains over; three have been taken, but two are left; it is a card of inheritance, patrimony, transmission, but not corresponding to expectations; with some interpreters it is a card of marriage, but not without bitterness or frustration.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Generally favourable; a happy marriage; also patrimony, legacies, gifts, success in enterprise.

Card Description

A dark, cloaked figure, looking sideways at three prone cups two others stand upright behind him; a bridge is in the background, leading to a small keep or holding.

Disquiet, difficulty, opposition, accident, treachery; what is unforeseen; fatality.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Departure of a relative.

Card Description

A woman, bound and hoodwinked, with the swords of the card about her. Yet it is rather a card of temporary durance than of irretrievable bondage.

The Final Result

The culmination which is brought about by the influences shewn by the other cards that have been turned up in the divination.

Ten of Cups from the Waite Smith Tarot Deck

Card Meaning When Reversed

Repose of the false heart, indignation, violence.

A. E. Waite's Secondary Meanings

Sorrow; also a serious quarrel.

Card Description

Appearance of Cups in a rainbow; it is contemplated in wonder and ecstacy by a man and woman below, evidently husband and wife. His right arm is about her; his left is raised upward; she raises her right arm. The two children dancing near them have not observed the prodigy but are happy after their own manner. There is a home-scene beyond.
